Mumbai gurdwara body opposes removal of jathedars

hindustantimes.com

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) recently removed three jathedars, including Giani Raghbir Singh and Giani Sultan Singh. This decision has sparked opposition from a council of gurdwara committees in Mumbai, which questions the legitimacy of the removals. The Mumbai gurdwara body, led by Jaspal Singh Sidhu, has formally rejected the SGPC's actions and the new appointments. They emphasize that the process should align with Sikh traditions and community sentiments. Nihang groups have also expressed their discontent, stating they will not recognize the new jathedars until the previous ones are reinstated. They held a meeting to discuss maintaining "moral standards" within their community.
